INT. - MARC'S OFFICE (ALICE'S BOSS) - DAY
[Alice and her boss, Marc, are sitting in his office. Alice is trying to illustrate the lesbian love connection chart she was showing to Dana at the end of the last episode. She uses an electronic drawing pad to write it all out.]
Alice: They're random acts of sex. K? They're encounters, romances, one-night stands, twenty-year marriages. Anytime...
Marc: Mm-hmm.
Alice: ... you get a group of gay girls together, you are guaranteed someone slept with someone else. Who has slept with someone else, who slept with someone else, and on and on.
[Alice writes something on the drawing pad and Marc's laptop screen suddenly begins to fill with names, all connected by lines. Shane is at the center.]
Marc: Mm-hmm.
Alice: Name any lesbian you know. I can link her to me in, like, six moves.
Marc: Christine Lee.
Alice: Christine Lee. Easy. Allright. Let me think about this.
[Alice leans over the drawing pad and starts to scribble.]
Alice: Okay. She was with Grace Partridge, couple years ago.
[She writes that down.]
Alice: Grace had a one-night thing with Anya...
[She draws a line from Grace to Anya, which appears on the laptop screen.]
Alice: ... then Anya dated Denise...
[She draws a line from Anya to Denise.]
Alice: ... who lived with Katherine Claymore...
[She draws a line from Denise to Katherine.]
Alice: ... who was my first girlfriend out of college.
[She draws a line from Katherine to her own name, which has several lines springing out of it.]
Alice: It's amazing, right?
[Marc purses his lips and raises his brows — not so amazing to him.]
Alice: Allright, Marc, it's not just about lesbians. It's - I could put you on this thing. And, probably, like, six connections, easy. I mean, one, if you slept with Anya.
Marc: So?
Alice: So? So the point is we're all connected! See? Through love, through loneliness, through one tiny, lamentable lapse in judgment.
[Marc furrows his brow a little.]
Marc: Hmm.
Alice: (dramatizing) All of us. In our isolation. We... reach out! From... the darkness! From the alienation of modern life. To form these connections.
Marc: (nods) Mm-hmm.
Alice: I think it's a really profound statement about the nature of human existence. (relenting) Allright. I — I could just do a piece on... vaginal rejuvenation.
Marc: Now that I like.
Alice: (nods) (to self) Great.
